These hammers are amazing. Totally aside from the stunning beauty of them -- with the holly wood, walnut, and ebony -- the feel of them is superb. Excellent hand-feel, just the right weight, not too heavy, not too light. I could not be more pleased. They even made my playing sound better. Thanks so much, Wolf Hill!

I love these hammers. They are beautiful, and they are useful for times I am playing with others because the acrylic heads have a louder volume.

Hello. The hammers came yesterday, and I've spent several hours since playing with them. They're fantastic.
The plastic edge is loud and sharp (in terms of attack, not pitch). Knew that, expected it. All good.
The leather side is louder than the leather sides of my Jill Weimer hammers, while still having almost no impact noise. That's fantastic.
And the hammers are a little heavier than other brands, which makes them easier to control, with the balance point farther back towards my hands, which makes for faster chords and cleaner rolls.
I just wanted to say that I'm very pleased.

The WyldeWood dulcimer hammers were shipped in a strong, secure box. In use, they are about 6 3/4" from front finger to strike point, total 8 1/2" long. Weight is 7.4 g. These hammers are light but very controllable for faster playing while still maintaining a dynamic acoustical range. I like them very much.

much prettier than the pictures I think Bob would be very proud of your work The work you do with the acrylic handle is an art the way you taper it into the handle Cannot be as easy as working it in wood. Keep up the good work and I hope that you get your website bugs cleared. Very such handiwork you should not have customers fighting the system to order from you. Thanks

I love these hammers! They are well balanced, have a great tone and are fun to look at. Also they arrived a lot sooner than I expected. I think shipping time was maybe 3 days. Thanks Wolf Hill !

After receiving the hammers they are beautiful. They give a full sound to my dulcimers. The hammers are a little heavier than I am used to, but helps playing better. Love them.

balance point is 1.5 inches in front of lead finger, allowing more effortless dynamic hammering impact (stronger->softer) and well counter balanced for faster hammering.

These hammer's are amazing. I have played and bought a lot of different hammer's but these are truly the best for me. The sound and how they feel in your hands is what every dulcimer player hopes to achieve. Thanks for such a wonderful product

I love the hammers I bought after trying those of a friend. Although I've only been playing a few months, I can tell a difference in how they feel when I play. Thanks for a fine product and a quick response in shipping.

These hammers are beautiful in every way! They are balanced perfectly; seem to float in my hands as I play, and look spectacular.
The sound they make isn't too bright or too rich, but just right no matter what notes they strike.
Thank you for making such a wonderful hammer!

Oh my goodness! Another great pair of hammers! I love playing my dulcimer with them. And they are lovely to look at. The color of plum is really pretty. I have given this pair a name -- Violet, after my mom who passed away two years ago.

I enjoy playing with them. They were not hard to get used to as they are similar to ones I had been using before I bought these. I will be buying more soon.

I love these hammers. I have a number of the Ashbrook hammers and love them all. The color, Baja Breeze, is a favorite color of mine, so I just had to have this pair of hammers. They play well, which is even more important than color, and I can take turns with my hammers with very little adjustment on my part. I am very pleased with my purchase.

These hammers are the best!! The grips lend themselves to rolling with precision and the head is perfect for the string spacing on my Masterworks Dulciforte. I like having the colored acrylic edge not only because it sounds good, but also because it makes it easier for my online students to see which string I’m hitting with an overhead video view. I’ve played with Bob Bedard hammers for over 20 years and am so pleased that Wolf Hill Woodworking offers the same fantastic workmanship that Bob did! Very grateful!
